This song speaks of a story of a stubborn king who eats a roasted yam reserved for sacrifice to the gods. The song warns the king not to commit this crime because it would jeopardize his place and, in turn, the prosperity of his people. He is warned that if he eats the yam, he will regret it and the price he pays is a dishonorable death. Upon this death, he is said to be denied reunion with his ancestors and his people.
